Izuku's POV (It's 1am so ehhhh. Not too tired, is that bad?)

Oh no...

I try to stand up and walk away but Dabi grabs my arm, keeping me there. I feel everyone's gazes on me and I shrink into myself. Ururaka's gaze was filled with worry, while Mineta's was filled in confusion.

'' It's just some razors and bandages. Nothing special. '' The grape-boy says, laying back down on the floor. I felt some tears in my eyes and move my free arm too wipe them away. Iida, Kacchan and Shigiraki walked over, them all sad.

'' Why? '' Iida asks, standing in front of me. I look up at him, worried for how the class rep, and dad, would take it.

I could speak so I just looked back down. Dabi, who had sat down beside me, stood up and yet again put his hand on my shoulder. By now everyone surrounded us, and knew something was wrong. I was wearing a hoodie, but hadn't flinched when being grabbed on my wrist. For some reason they asked me to show them my arms anyway.

I pull up my sleeves and everyone who can see me notices the faint scars on them.

'' Midoriya... '' Dabi asks from beside me. I didn't shift my gaze from the floor, rolling my sleeves down again. Before I could do anything Dabi grabs my upper arm and pulls me into his chest, into a hug.

As his warm arms come over my back, I start to tear up. I started to sob. Everyone either breaks off and leaves the living room to progress or stays to try and calm me down.

By now I was sobbing into Dabi's chest. But he didn't mind, from what I could tell. Shigiraki, Kacchan and Iida all left to talk or tell a pro. I didn't care anymore. I had been meaning to stop.

But the voice wont.

Dabi picks me up and walks over to the couches, I believe. He sits down, me in his lap, and continues to try and calm me down.

'' Shu, shu, it'll be fine. Don't worry. It'll be alright. '' He whispered into my ear. Despite my current feeling, I felt a flutter yet again in my chest. The way Dabi's deep voice sounded... 

Ack! Makes me feel weird. (Not like that, feeling wise)

After awhile I calm down and feel exhausted. By then everyone was either asleep, quietly talking, or in their dorm-rooms still. I was still in Dabi's lap, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind. I still feel weird around him, when he talks, and many other things. We only met properly a couple days ago!

I mentally shake my head and close my eyes, leaning on his chest. Dabi was asleep, so I didn't want to wake him.

As I drift asleep, I swear I hear him whisper something.

'' You were muttering again. Quietly, though. Only I heard it. ''
